Dr. Burgeon was a scientist contacted by Lionel Luthor following the death of Doctor Teng in order to take over her blood platelet research.
Season Three[]
Burgeon was intrigued by Teng's research and Lionel's offer of unlimited funding, although he was worried that with the limited amount of platelets remaining there would only be enough for one set of trials. He told Lionel he would be able to have a lab set up in about a year but Lionel responded by telling him he needed him up and running by the end of the week, admitting he himself was suffering from a liver disease.
