Julius Christoph Ehregott Schaxel (March 24, 1887 – July 15, 1943) was a German biologist who was a native of Augsburg. He initially studied biology, philosophy and psychology at Jena under Ernst Haeckel (1834–1919), then continued his education in Munich with Richard Hertwig (1850–1937).
In 1909 he obtained his PhD at the University of Jena under Ludwig Plate (1862–1937), where from 1918 until 1933, he worked as an associate professor of zoology.
During the rise of National Socialism, partly because of his Marxist views and partly owing to this Jewish heritage , he was dismissed from his position at Jena, and in 1933 emigrated to Switzerland, then relocating to Leningrad in the USSR, where he received a position at the Severtsov Evolution and Morphology Institute of the Soviet Academy of Sciences.
In 1934 he moved with the institute to Moscow. Schaxel specialized in the fields of developmental biology and theoretical biology.
He is remembered for his research involving limb regeneration and parabiosis of the Mexican axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum).
He practiced biology from a Marxist philosophic standpoint, and was co-founder and editor of the journal Urania (1924 to 1933).
In its time, it was a popular magazine known for scientific articles within the framework of Marxist philosophy.
