This presentation will honor the distinguished career of Julius Schachter, PhD, whose untimely passing due to COVID-19 in December 2020 left a major gap in the STD/HIV field. We will review the career highlights of our eminent colleague in the field of chlamydia microbiology, novel diagnostics, epidemiology, and their application to national and international program policies for chlamydia prevention.
