Biography

Biosyn was a genetics company based in Cupertino, CA, and was headed by Bill Steingarten that came to be a rival of InGen that was not above using industrial espionage to get what it wanted. Represented by Lewis Dodgson.

Primarily competing with fellow genetic engineering company International Genetics Technologies (InGen), Biosyn tried to keep up with their competition through their head of product development, Dr. Lewis Dodgson. Dodgson himself had a checkered history, and extended such a reputation under his work at Biosyn, including an incident where he introduced a modified form of the rabies virus to farmers in Chile without the latters’ knowledge or consent. Dodgson also operated in corporate espionage schemes for Biosyn, which involved recovering technology from rival companies and re-engineering their prototypes in such a way his organization avoided possible lawsuits. Two notable incidents occurred because of these activities.

Biosyn sent Dr. Lewis Dodgson to meet with Dennis Nedry, a computer programmer, to give him the transportation device for the embryos, paying Nedry $750,000 up front and then $50,000 for each of the 15 embryos and for each viable embryo an additional $50,000 extra for a total of $1.5 Million dollars in total for his help. Biosyn never received the precious embryos. After Dennis Nedry shuts down the park (later leading to complete disaster), he enters the Dilophosaurus territory, which has a beach at which he planned to hand over the embryos to a Biosyn accomplice. Nedry is killed by a Dilophosaurus, and the canister containing the embryos is buried in mud, completely ruining Biosyn's chance of success. The result was several deaths, the destruction of the Isla Nublar facilities, and the bankruptcy of InGen.
