Biosyn Sanctuary

Lore & Background

Biosyn Corporation, originally InGen's rival based in Cupertino, California, made its film debut as Biosyn Genetics in Jurassic World Dominion (2022). The facility operates under the guise of a sanctuary, yet it is deeply involved in capturing animals and performing pharmaceutical research on them. A major plot point involves the 14-year-old orphan Maisie Lockwood, who was captured by Biosyn employees. Additionally, the company unleashed giant locusts to devour rival crops as part of their agenda. The narrative reveals that while many employees believed they were acting with good intentions, CEO Dodgson betrayed them upon revealing his true actions regarding the locusts and Maisie.

In Their Own Story

The events at Biosyn's headquarters in Jurassic World Dominion (2022) center on a confrontation involving the capture of Maisie Lockwood and the release of giant locusts. Dr. Henry Wu, a geneticist who previously worked for InGen, is now employed by Biosyn as their resident expert. He works alongside Dr. Ian Malcolm, the company's in-house mathematician and philosopher. The plot thickens when it is revealed that Dodgson ordered the release of locusts to destroy competitors' crops, a move that endangered global food supplies. When this scheme was exposed to the public, the plan was foiled. Director Colin Trevorrow noted that the tragedy lay in the thousands of employees who felt betrayed by Dodgson once his specific actions regarding the locusts and Maisie were uncovered.

Reader's Guide

For visitors or investigators entering the Biosyn headquarters in the Dolomites, the primary objective is to understand the company's dual nature: a legitimate pharmaceutical firm versus an organization engaged in illegal animal capture and crop destruction. Key figures include CEO Lewis Dodgson, who leads the operation; Dr. Henry Wu, the lead geneticist; and Dr. Ian Malcolm, the philosopher-mathematician. The facility is notable for housing captured dinosaurs and holding Maisie Lockwood, a 14-year-old orphan with unique DNA. The turning point of the location's story occurs when the giant locust plot is exposed to the public, leading to the failure of Dodgson's agenda and the rescue of Maisie.
