Heartbroken by the passing of Jim. He was a big part of my training as a graduate student in Brosnan lab at Memorial University of Newfoundland. He was a great scientist and even better person.
We’re deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. James House, Professor and MB Strategic Research Chair in Sustainable Protein. His work on plant and animal-based proteins and his mentorship of 100+ students and fellows leave a lasting legacy at UM: https://t.co/BLAIHjDSHa
