Dean Turner Burk (March 21, 1904 – October 6, 1988)[2] was an American biochemist, medical researcher, and a cancer researcher at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute and the National Cancer Institute.[3] In 1934, he developed the Lineweaver–Burk plot together with Hans Lineweaver.[4] Lineweaver and Burk collaborated with the eminent statistician W. Edwards Deming on the statistical analysis of their data:[5] they used the plot for illustrating the results, not for the analysis itself.
