Julius (Julie) Axelrod was born May 20, 1912, on the lower east side
of Manhattan in New York City, the son of Polish immigrants Isadore and Molly
Axelrod. Julius' father supported the family as a basketmaker. Axelrod attended Seward Park High School, where he quickly developed an interest in history,
literature, and science, and set his sights on medical school. In 1929, Axelrod enrolled in New York City University (NYU). After one year, he transferred to the tuition-free City College of New York (CCNY), which Axelrod later described as a "proletarian Harvard." Axelrod graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in biology in 1933. He applied to several medical schools, but was not admitted. Reflecting on these rejections, he told a newspaper reporter in 1970 that "It was hard in those days for Jews to get into medical school. I wasn't that good a student, but if my name was Bigelow I probably would have gotten in."
Axelrod also found it difficult to find work in his field, especially in the middle of the Depression. After a brief stint as a laboratory technician at the Harriman Research Laboratory at NYU Medical School, Axelrod found a position in 1935 testing vitamin supplements added to food, particularly milk, for the New York City Department of Health's Laboratory of Industrial Hygiene. Axelrod remained in this position until 1946. During this period, he lost his left eye in a laboratory accident. In 1938, Axelrod married Sally Taub, an elementary school teacher. Over the next decade, the couple had two sons, Paul and Alfred. While working for the Department of Health, Axelrod took night classes at NYU and earned his Master of Science degree in chemistry in 1941 with a thesis on the chemical breakdown of enzymes in cancerous tumor tissues.
In 1946, Axelrod began conducting research on the chemistry of analgesic (pain-relieving) medications with Bernard "Steve" Brodie at Goldwater Memorial Hospital on Welfare (now Roosevelt) Island. He continued to work with Brodie, whom he considered to be his mentor, for the next eight years. Their research together laid the foundation for Axelrod's lifelong enthusiasm for pharmacological science. In 1949, Axelrod accepted a position as a research chemist at the National Heart Institute (NHI), a part of the rapidly expanding National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland. From 1949 to 1955, he pursued many new projects at the NHI that built upon his previous work.
Although Axelrod clearly possessed the requisite skill and scientific expertise to carry out his own research, he knew that without a Ph.D. his opportunities for career advancement were limited. In 1954, Axelrod took a leave of absence from the NIH to attend The George Washington University, where his advisor, George Mandel, permitted him to submit some of his recent NIH laboratory work as the basis for his doctoral dissertation. Now in his early 40s, Axelrod graduated from GWU in 1955 with a Ph.D. in pharmacology after completing his thesis, "The Fate of Phenylisopropylamines."
In 1954, Axelrod was invited to establish a Section on Pharmacology in Edward Evarts's Laboratory of Clinic Science at the NIH's National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). In 1957, he began his most famous research project, which focused on the activity of neurotransmitter hormones. Axelrod's work enabled researchers during the 1970s to develop a new class of antidepressant medications, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Some commonly known SSRIs include Prozac, Zoloft, and Celexa. Over the next thirty years until his retirement in 1984, he continued to work on a wide array of research projects in pharmacological science.
In 1970, Axelrod, along with Sir Bernard Katz of University College London and Ulf von Euler of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology for "discoveries concerning the humoral transmitters in the nerve terminals and the mechanism for their storage, release and inactivation." Axelrod remained an active researcher, distinguished lecturer, and public scientist throughout the 1970s, garnering numerous honorary degrees and professional awards. In 1984, at the age of 72, he formally retired from the NIMH. In 1996, he was named Scientist Emeritus of the National Institutes of Health.

The Julius Axelrod Papers consist of 7.4 linear feet of materials, one
oversize box, and a loose collection of degrees, awards, and posters.
The collection consists primarily of materials related to Axelrod's scientific career. The bulk of these materials consist of awards, laboratory notebooks, reprints, and photographs. There are a great number of items related to Axelrod's winning of awards, honorary degrees, memberships, and lectureships. The collection is especially strong in documenting Axelrod's receipt of the Nobel Prize in 1970, including congratulatory correspondence, newspaper clippings, and print ephemera. As evidence of Axelrod's many hours in the laboratory the collection features a run of laboratory notes and notebooks from the late 1940s through the 1960s. Further, the collection boasts a large number of scientific reprints spanning his career. The collection also contains numerous photographs of Axelrod at various conferences and lectures.
The collection contains very little correspondence, either professional or personal. The laboratory notes and notebooks from the 1950s and 1960s comprise a significant part, perhaps 20%, of Axelrod's papers. Almost all the rest of the collection, however, is related in one way or another to his notoriety after receiving the Nobel. The bulk of the materials in the collection thus come from the 1970s through the early 1990s.

Series I. Personal and Biographical,
1953-1994, 0.4 linear feet
|
| Although this series offers few primary accounts of Axelrod's
early life and career, secondary biographical sketches and articles cover much
of his scientific activities throughout the late 1970's. Just like the
Professional Activities and Travel Series, this series only has a small
sampling of materials from Axelrod's career during the late-1980's and 1990's.
Still, these materials give the researcher good information on Axelrod's entire
career, specifically his laboratory work and discoveries, and his winning the
Nobel Prize in 1970, which is also documented in the Nobel Prize and Other
Awards series. |
|
|
|
|
| The first subseries contains biographical materials and essays
about Axelrod, while the second features thee samples of Axelrod's writings,
including his 1968 book on the Pineal Gland. The rest of his scientific
writings are found in the Reprints and Publications series. The third subseries
contains numerous articles and clippings devoted to Axelrod at various stages
in his life and career. The final subseries of miscellaneous materials features
two folders of clippings that cover some of the political issues with which Axelrod became
involved following his 1970 receipt of the Nobel Prize. |

Series II. Laboratory Notes and Notebooks,
1946-1971, 2.0 linear feet
|
| This series contains materials related to Axelrod's laboratory
work. The first subseries includes four sets of lab notes from the late 1940's.
The second subseries features eighteen clothbound lab notebooks, mostly from
the 1950's, but some from the 1960's and 1970's. Each notebook's subject
is written on the spine, and many of the experiments are undated. The notebooks
document Axelrod's research into how caffeine, LSD, and narcotic drugs affect
the central nervous system. Most of the work in these notebooks appears to be
in Axelrod's hand, some of which is illegible. Despite their age, these items
are in relatively good condition. |

Series III. Reprints and Research Publications,
1948-1998, 1.6 linear feet
|
| This series contains reprints from scientific journals and
monographs. The first of three subseries consists of Axelrod's reprints. This
subseries features both loose and bound reprints. The small collection of
loose reprints date between 1948-1990 and is arranged alphabetically by title.
Folder titles consist of two article titles, which indicate the alphabetical
span of each file. A full listing of reprint citations is contained in Appendix
A. The more significant part of the first subseries is bound volumes of
Axelrod reprints ranging form 1948-1969. These volumes cover drug metabolism,
the pineal gland, adrenaline, noradrenaline, and catecholamines. Nearly
complete in their coverage of Axelrod's enormous body of early scientific work, each volume is divided into subjects that are arranged chronologically. |
|
|
|
|
| The second subseries contains reprints by others authors that Axelrod collected, arranged first by general subject and then by year. Subjects of these
reprints include catecholamine, the pineal gland, and narcotic miscrosomes.
Some of these reprints have been marked or annotated by Axelrod or by the
article's author. The third subseries consists of miscellaneous figures and
charts arranged by subject. The figures were used either as overheads, slides,
or diagrams for articles. To avoid further deterioration of some damaged materials, these items were copied and the originals destroyed. |

Series VI. Photographs, 1915-1996, 1.4 linear feet
|
| This rather extensive series contains photographs and a handful of
slides from Axelrod's personal life and professional career. Most of the items
in this series are identified by descriptions and/or dates
inscribed on the back of the image. |
|
|
|
|
| The first subseries contains photographs of Axelrod's personal
life and family members; a large number of these are snapshots. The second
subseries consists of photographs from Axelrod's professional career,
beginning with pictures from the Goldwater Memorial Hospital and the NIH.
This subseries also contains numerous conference photographs from
the 1960's-1990's showing Axelrod and other attendees, as well as a
number of unidentified and undated conference photographs. Some of these
conference photographs are part of files from the Conference and Travel series.
The third subseries includes photographs from Axelrod's various trips. The
locations of these travels are largely identified, but the professional
occasions or personal events are not. |

Oversize Materials
|
| Oversize materials are items that were too large to house in regular sized Hollinger boxes and are therefore stored separately for
preservation considerations. Except for posters, these materials are listed in
the finding guide within their appropriate intellectual series and subseries.
The materials are kept in a large oversize box, and the posters and other large
items are kept loosely. Separation sheets found in relevant folders are used to
remind researchers of the existence of oversize materials. |
