== Biography ==&lt;br /&gt;
U. C. Chaturvedi, born on 2 March 1939 at the [[Unnao]], an industrial city in the Indian state of [[Uttar Pradesh]] to Chandra  and Satya Prakash Chaturvedi, completed his early college education at Government Inter College, [[Etawah]] in 1956, before graduating in medicine from [[King George&amp;#039;s Medical University]] (then known as King George&amp;#039;s Medical College) in 1961.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Indian fellow&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Subsequently, he joined KGMU as a research assistant cum demonstrator and became a full faculty member in 1964. During this time, he pursued his higher studies at the institution and earned an MD in Pathology and Bacteriology in 1965. He spent the rest of his regular career at KGMU till his superannuation in 1999 during which time he rose through ranks holding the positions of a lecturer (1964–65 and 1967), reader (1967–84) and a professor (1984–99). In between, he took a sabbatical during 1965 to 1967 and worked as an ICMR Senior Research Fellow at [[National Institute of Virology]] under the guidance of T. Ramchandra Rao, as a Senior Medical Commonwealth Fellow with [[Thomas Henry Flewett]] and Peter Wildy at [[University of Birmingham]] and as an [[Alexander von Humboldt Fellow]] at the laboratory of F. Lehmann-Grube at [[University of Hamburg]].

Subsequently, he chaired [[Bharat Immunologicals and Biologicals Corporation]],&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Peer Reviewers&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web |url=http://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/10665/164107/1/ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS%20done.pdf |title=Peer Reviewers |date=2017 |publisher=Dengue Bulletin, WHO/SEARO}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; (BIBCOL) a Government of India undertaking involved in the manufacture of [[Polio vaccine|oral Polio vaccines]], Zinc tablets and kits for the management of [[Diarrhea]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Biotechnology Company India&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web |url=http://www.bibcol.com/ |title=Biotechnology Company India |date=2017 |publisher=Bharat Immunologicals and Biologicals Corporation}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He served BIBCOL till 2006 when he was succeeded by [[Virander Singh Chauhan]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Corporate Announcement&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web |url=http://www.bseindia.com/corporates/anndet_new.aspx?newsid=65dd6f09-646c-46f9-820e-86288260d81a&amp;amp;param1=1 |title=Corporate Announcement |date=2017 |publisher=Bombay Stock Exchange}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Chaturvedi&amp;#039;s early researches spanned the [[pathogenesis]] of various diseases which he carried out using animal models and subsequently reconfirming them by clinical trials.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Indian fellow&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; The human disorders he covered included [[chromium toxicity]], immunological cardiac injury and [[dengue haemorrhagic fever]] (DHF) and it was during this time, he demonstrated that [[T cell|T-]][[lymphocyte]]s could inflict damage on heart tissues thereby leading to post-[[myocardial infarction]] and the [[postpericardiotomy syndrome]]. When an epidemic of dengue broke out in [[Kanpur]] in 1968, the team led by him carried out extensive studies independently and were successful in isolating dengue virus from the patients for further investigations.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;In Conversation&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web |url=http://healthsciences.ac.in/inconversation.html |title=In Conversation |date=2012 |publisher=Kerala University of Health Sciences |access-date=25 February 2017 |archive-date=31 July 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170731025636/http://healthsciences.ac.in/inconversation.html |url-status=dead }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; With the help of his studies on the pathogenesis of Dengue fever, he demonstrated that [[T helper cell]]-[[Type II cytokine receptor]] causes severity of the disease and he termed the incidence as &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Cytokine Tsunami&amp;#039;&amp;#039;,&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Parthasarathy2016&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book|author=A Parthasarathy|title=IAP Textbook of Pediatrics|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=m1OJDAAAQBAJ&amp;amp;pg=PA269|date=30 April 2016|publisher=JP Medical Ltd|isbn=978-93-5250-196-0|pages=269–}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; as revealed in articles&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Shift to Th2 cytokine response in dengue haemorrhagic fever&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |title=Shift to Th2 cytokine response in dengue haemorrhagic fever |url=https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Shift+to+Th2+cytokine+response+in+dengue+haemorrhagic+fever.-a0197413782 |journal=Indian Journal of Medical Research |date=January 2009}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Nitric oxide in dengue and dengue haemorrhagic fever: necessity or nuisance?&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |title=Nitric oxide in dengue and dengue haemorrhagic fever: necessity or nuisance? |journal=Pathogens and Disease |date=February 2009 |volume=56 |issue=1 |pages=9–24 |doi=10.1111/j.1574-695X.2009.00544.x|pmid=19239490 |last1=Chaturvedi |first1=Umesh C. |last2=Nagar |first2=Rachna |pmc=7110348 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and an editorial written by him in [[Indian Journal of Medical Research]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Can helper T-17 cells play a role in dengue haemorrhagic fever?&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite journal |last=Nivedita Gupta, U.C.

Chaturvedi elucidated the pathogenesis of dengue fever by proposing how virus-infected [[macrophages]] incited cytotoxic factor (CF) production in [[CD4+]] [[T cells]] which accelerated production of free radicals, nitrite, reactive oxygen and [[peroxynitrite]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Indian fellow&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; He developed an [[in-vitro]] model for testing metal toxicity and prescribed pre-treatment protocols using [[chromium picolinate]] which countered the incidence of [[thrombocytopenia]] induced by the virus.
