Yvonne Margaret Balding[2][3] (née Barr;[2] 11 March 1932 – 13 February 2016)[3] was an Irish virologist who co-discovered the Epstein–Barr virus (EBV),[4][5] which, because it identified a virus as a cause of cancer in humans, has been called "one of the 20th century's most significant scientific discoveries."[6]
Barr's role in the discovery of EBV, also called human herpesvirus 4, was instrumental, as she prepared the samples used for experimentation[7] as well as characterized the morphological and biological characteristics of the virus.[8]
