  • Jamie Seymour is an Australian toxinologist. He has been a lecturer and researcher at James Cook University since 1996 and gained Professorship in 2019. Professor Seymour started his academic career as a lecturer in the School of Tropical Biology at James Cook University. He is currently a member of the Australian Institute of Tropical Health & Medicine. His research involves examining the biology and ecology of dangerous species found in Australia. In 1998, Professor Seymour established and became director of the Tropical Australian Venom Research Unit' which studies the ecology, biology and medical treatment of venomous marine creatures, particularly box jellyfish. He has been involved in programs designed to decrease the envenoming of humans by box jellyfish in Australia, East Timor and Hawaii. Professor Seymour's work has also been involved with changes in the treatment protocol for jellyfish stings in Australia. Professor Seymour attributes his interest in marine biology primarily to his father, who as a young boy scout was involved in a canoeing accident that led to the drownings of everyone involved except him and his friend. As a result, his children were taught to swim at a very early age. Professor Seymour, who lived on the Clarence River in Grafton, New South Wales, spend much of his early life swimming, diving and sailing. Because his whole childhood revolved around the water, Professor Seymour considered it preordained that he would end up with his subsequent career. (en)
