Biosyn Genetics, also known as Biosyn, is a genetics company similar to InGen and Mantah Corp. The company engages in genetic bioengineering and pharmaceutical research while secretly using espionage and illegal practices for profit and corporate dominance.

Biosyn was founded in 1977 and has three other subsidiary companies, being NutriSyn, PharmaSyn, and Nano League Technologies. Its owners were Bill Steingarten (1977-1994), Jeff Rossiter (1994-2013), and Lewis Dodgson (2013-2022).[1]

History[]

Jurassic Park[]

The name 'Biosyn' is never heard in the film, but the sequence of events, involving Lewis Dodgson and Dennis Nedry, is more or less the same as in the novel. After Dodgson met up with Nedry in San Jose, he tasked him with stealing dinosaur embryos in Barbasol can so that Biosyn could manfacture dinosaurs of their own in exhange for giving Nedry a big payoff. However, the attempt failed as Nedry was killed by Diliophsarus.

Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous[]

Season 5[]

Lewis Dodgson, now the Head of Research for Biosyn, traveled to Isla Nublar to make a deal with Daniel Kon, the president of Mantah Corp, for Mantah Corp's mind control chips. During the mission to capture several dinosaurs, Dodgson inadvertently finds and retrieves the old Barbasol can containing the embryos that Dennis Nedry had stolen for him twenty-three years before. Lana Molina attempts to steal Dodgson's pack containing the can and Biosyn's entire prospectus to sell on the black market, but she is stopped by Kenji Kon and eaten by a pack of Compies. Dodgson subsequently finalizes Biosyn's deal with Mantah Corp and is promised production and delivery of the mind control chips within two weeks. However, the plot is thwarted by Kenji and his friends, leading to Daniel's arrest. Nevertheless, Biosyn is left in possession of the dinosaur embryos that Nedry had stolen for them decades before.

Jurassic World: Chaos Theory[]

Season 2[]

Soyona Santos reveals to a surprised Brooklynn -- who remembers Dodgson and Biosyn from their dealings with Mantah Corp years before -- that her dinosaur smuggling operation will be partnering with Biosyn.[2]

Season 3[]

After being intimidated by the Handler and the Atrociraptor Tiger,[3] college professor and UN advisor Chuck Desai suddenly throws his support behind Biosyn having dominion over all dinosaurs on Earth. Due to how outspoken Desai was about an organization such as the DPW having that much power, Ben Pincus and Gia are suspicious.[4]

Santos later brings Brooklynn to the Malta catacombs to meet with Dodgson to finalize their deal with Biosyn. Santos explains that Biosyn offers the Broker unfettered access to every dinosaur on Earth. They'll have the chance to sell to buyers of all sorts, legitimate or otherwise. Santos' operation shares the profits with Biosyn and Biosyn gets to maintain their squeaky clean image. Brooklynn asks how the Broker is so sure that Biosyn will get that access, but Santos doesn't answer. Brooklynn later secretly records the meeting with Dodgson who reveals that Santos and Brooklynn are there to take over the Amber Clave Night Market -- which Biosyn had secretly set up -- and finalizes his deal with Santos who hands over the dinosaur eggs and DNA samples that she has collected. Dodgson reveals that Biosyn is having trouble securing a special land permit for Biosyn Valley due to a local regional counsellor and wants to send the Handler to kill him, but Santos suggests using the same intimidation tactics that had worked on Desai which Dodgson seemingly agrees to.[5]

Shortly thereafter, Santos and Brooklynn see a news report that reveals that Italian Regional Counsellor Corso was killed in a dinosaur attack. A furious Santos realizes that Dodgson went behind her back and used the Handler and her Atrociraptor pack to kill Corso, but chooses not to confront him about it. Dodgson assigns the two to find Maisie Lockwood and Blue for him and Santos agrees to assign Rainn Delacourt to the job.

Santos explains that she had chosen not to confront Dodgson about his despicable actions because the payoff of their deal regarding the black market is too great. Brooklynn suggests that Santos can't trust Dodgson to keep up his end of the deal, pointing out that he had already gone behind her back once, used the Handler to do his dirty work and now has assets that he wants Santos to get. However, maybe they can get some info on Dodgson and even the score a little. Brooklynn proposes that she goes to the black market, asks around, and see if she can find out what Dodgson is really up to. Such information could come in handy to them in the future and Santos agrees. Brooklynn visits the black market, interrogating Rio for more information on the sale of dinosaurs there.[6] Rio explains that the market usually sells to people with a lot of money and enemies. A couple of big shots had come in a couple of days before, curious to see the match between the dinosaurs, and there has even been some military interest. Rio admits that the buyers have bigger imaginations than him and Rio just focuses on selling quality products. Brooklynn reveals to Rio that, as much of a secret as the black market is, it's still corporate funded by Biosyn. Rio admits that he wasn't sure, but he's also not surprised by this.[7]

The Handler and her pack capture a Pyroraptor that is rampaging through an Italian village, taking it away in a Biosyn containment van, revealing that Biosyn was behind the Pyroraptor's creation. This is witnessed by Darius and Ben who realize that Biosyn is involved with the Broker.[6] Previously, no one was known to have created a feathered dinosaur yet.[5] However, the Pyroraptor later escapes[8] after a giant locust pops the containment van's tire and causes it to crash.[9]

While investigating the black market, Brooklynn meets Davi, a journalist who is looking to take Biosyn down.[7] Davi later tells Brooklynn that he thinks that Biosyn is trying to disrupt the global food supply using genetically-engineered locusts. Brooklynn admits that she already knows, having been collecting photos and videos for months, one of which is of a giant locust.[8]

After being scared off by Sammy Gutierrez and Kenji Kon,[10] the escaped Pyroraptor returns to Biosyn Valley. From a tablet taken from the crashed containment van, Sammy discovers that Biosyn has taken the Nublar Six's Ankylosaurus friend Bumpy to Biosyn Valley[11] and she, Kenji and Smoothie set out to rescue Bumpy from Biosyn.[12]

After her sale of the Atrociraptors is busted by French Intelligence and the black market is destroyed, Santos contacts Dodgson for an extraction.[11] Dodgson sends a Biosyn Drone Helicopter to transport Santos to Biosyn Headquarters, but she is distracted by Darius, Yaz and Brooklynn and arrested by French intelligence.[12] Having learned from Santos that Biosyn is creating more assassin dinosaurs, Brooklynn convinces her friends to take the helicopter to Biosyn Headquarters to stop Biosyn once and for all.[12]

Jurassic World: Dominion[]

In the sixth film, its staff members were Lewis Dodgson, now CEO of the company,[13] and Ramsay Cole, the company's head of communications. Dr. Ian Malcolm also worked as a consultant. The company had a research facility and sanctuary in the Dolomite Mountains range of Italy.[14]

In order to combat illegal poachers, the U.S. Congress granted Biosyn the rights to house the dinosaurs in their sanctuary and study them. Since the destruction of Isla Nublar in 2018, Biosyn offered to house the displaced animals in order to study their prehistoric immune systems in the hopes of finding better treatments for diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's, or autoimmune, and at some point began cloning their own animals.[14]

By 2022, 20 displaced prehistoric species from Isla Nublar and Isla Sorna were held within the valley, with the latter island being pillaged by Biosyn up to 2018.[1][15] They have been known to clone extinct animals, with only pure DNA without splicing it with others, in order to see their own evolution.

In 2022, they gentically engineered giant locusts as part of their secret Hexapod Allies project, which aimed at spreading genetic modifications to crops so they would be resistant to droughts, frosts, and disease.[16] However, it failed due to the rapid breeding and extended life of the locusts, thus causing a locust epidemic across the U.S.[14] After a incident, Biosyn Valley was designated a sanctuary for the dinosaurs by a United Nations decree, where they will live free from human interference. Biosyn is likely now defunct due to testimonies from Malcolm, Ramsay Cole, Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler and others, for causing the locust epidemic.[14]

Trivia[]

  • "Biosyn" stands for Biology Synthetics Technologies, Inc.
  • "Biosyn" also sounds like 'Bio-Sin,' like the company is committing 'sins.' It's sins include: attempting to steal dinosaur embryos from InGen and indirectly causing the Jurassic Park Incident, causing the Agrarian Crisis of the Giant Locusts and attempting to destroy evidence about it, kidnapping Maisie Lockwood, attempting to murder Kayla Watts, Owen Grady, and Claire Dearing by turning off the Aerial Deterrent System, and attempting to murder Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler, and Maisie Lockwood by trapping them in the Amber Mines. All of the sins were carried out by Lewis Dodgson.
  • There exists an actual company located in Lewisville, TX named Bio-Synthesis or Biosyn for short. Their website is biosyn.com.
  • In Michael Crichton's final novel before his death, Next, features a brief mention of a "Biosyn" corporation.[17] It's unknown if this was an intended allusion.
  • Lewis Dodgson is played by two different actors.
  • Although never confirmed, it's possible that Vic Hoskins, Eli Mills, and Eddie may have been working for Biosyn (although the latter was most likely an operative of Mantah Corp, as they are the central business of Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous).
  • The scene in Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous where Dodgson gains the Biosyn canister creates a continuity error in Season 5 when he says that he should've been able to use the Barbasol can 25 years ago, which would imply that it takes place in 2018. However, season 3 shows that the campers were stuck on Isla Nublar for six months, and Dodgson lost the can back in 1993 when Nedry failed to retrieve the embryos for Biosyn. Therefore, Dodgson should've said 23 instead of 25. He may have been rounding, though.
  • Biosyn is the only genetics company to not use the DNA of other animals to fill in the gaps of the dinosaurs genomes when cloning them. Instead, they use the dinosaurs' own DNA to fill in the gaps of their genomes, how they did this is unknown.
