Warning: SPOILERS for Jurassic World: Dominion

BioSyn and its CEO, Dr. Lewis Dodgson (Campbell Scott), return in Jurassic World Dominion which is the culmination of their role as villains throughout the Jurassic Park movie saga. Directed by Colin Trevorrow, Jurassic World Dominion reunites the legacy heroes of Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park, Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill), Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), and Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), and teams them up with the main protagonists of the Jurassic World trilogy, Owen Grady (Chris Pratt), Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard), and Maisie Lockwood (Isabella Sermon). Meanwhile, BioSyn takes center stage as the cause of Jurassic World Dominion's global catastrophe.

In Steven Spielberg's original Jurassic Park, BioSyn lurked as a shadow villain but the main culprits behind the creation of genetically-engineered dinosaur clones were John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) and his company, InGen. It was Hammond's dream of a money-making theme park populated by cloned dinosaurs that went horribly awry in Jurassic Park. The next two films, The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park III, mainly dealt with the fallout of InGen's folly, including the ill-fated scheme of Hammond's nephew and replacement as CEO, Peter Ludlow (Arliss Howard), to open Jurassic Park: San Diego. When Jurassic World soft rebooted the franchise, InGen was purchased by Masrani Global Corporation, which successfully fulfilled Hammond's dream by opening Jurassic World and running the theme park destination resort successfully for ten years - before Jurassic World inevitably fell thanks to the rampage of their hybrid monster dinosaur, the Indominus Rex.

Meanwhile, BioSyn and Lewis Dodgson (played by Cameron Thor) made only one appearance in the original Jurassic Park. However, in Jurassic World Dominion, BioSyn returns in full force as the most powerful genetics company in the world after the collapse of InGen and Masrani Global in the wake of the Jurassic World disaster. "BioSyn" is short for Biology Synthetics Technologies, Inc., but the company's villainy is implied in the name "BioSyn." With BioSyn's Jurassic comeback, Dodgson brings the world to the brink of ecological ruin and global famine in Jurassic World Dominion. Here's BioSyn's complete history in the Jurassic saga.

BioSyn In Jurassic Park: Dodgson & Nedry's Plan

Lewis Dodgson's brief appearance in Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park is basically an identical scene to how it plays out in Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park novel. Dodgson engages in corporate espionage by recruiting Dennis Nedry (Wayne Knight), InGen and Jurassic Park's disgruntled computer programmer. Upset with Hammond over his relatively low pay, Nedry agrees to steal fifteen dinosaur embryos for a total payout of $1.5-million. Spielberg's scene is especially memorable for Nedry mocking Lewis' secret agent-like behavior and announcing, "Dodgson! We've got Dodgson here!"

Dodgson gave Nedry a transportation device for the stolen embryos that resembles a Barbasol shaving cream can. Dodgson doesn't appear again in a Jurassic movie until Jurassic World Dominion, which is set 29 years later. Of course, after Nedry disables Jurassic Park's computer systems and steals the embryos, he is caught in a hurricane and gets stranded in the Dilophosaurus paddock. Nedry is quickly killed and eaten by the poison-spitting carnivores and the Barbasol can is buried in the mud of Isla Nublar. BioSyn never received the stolen technology they hired Nedry to steal. Curiously, the name "BioSyn" is never actually said in the Jurassic Park movie, although novel readers knew Dodgson worked for BioSyn.

What Happened To BioSyn After Jurassic Park: Lost World Book Story Explained

Although Lewis Dodgson and BioSyn vanish from the Jurassic movies until Jurassic World Dominion, they both return in Michael Crichton's sequel novel, The Lost World. Steven Spielberg's The Lost World: Jurassic Park only loosely adapted Crichton's sequel, which was being written at the same time the follow-up film was being developed. In Crichton's The Lost World, Dodgson leads a BioSyn team to Isla Sorna AKA Site B, a second island where InGen's cloned dinosaurs were bred before being shipped to Isla Nublar and Jurassic Park.

Dodgson's villainy continued in the novel when he tried to kill Dr. Sarah Harding, who was played by Julianne Moore in The Lost World: Jurassic Park, en route to Isla Sorna. Dodgson, Howard King, and George Baselton from BioSyn attempt to steal Tyrannosaurus eggs but Lewis' accomplices are killed by the adult T-rexes. Dodgson later dies in the novel when he's eaten alive by the T-rex's infants. However, Spielberg's Jurassic movie canon diverged from Crichton's novel and all subsequent Jurassic movies followed up the events of the films so Dodgson didn't even appear, much less perish, in The Lost World: Jurassic Park.

BioSyn & Dodgson's Return & Villain Plan In Jurassic World: Dominion

With InGen and Masrani Global Corporation both out of the picture, BioSyn returned as the world's preeminent genetics company in Jurassic World Dominion. Dr. Lewis Dodgson is now BioSyn's CEO and his company was awarded proprietary control of InGen's dinosaur technology by the U.S. Congress. BioSyn set up a research and development facility, complete with a Hyperloop, and a dinosaur sanctuary in Italy's Dolomite mountains. BioSyn also hired Dr. Ian Malcolm as a consultant. But while BioSyn maintains a positive public image, Dodgson secretly engages in all manner of illicit activities, including dinosaur trafficking and the kidnapping of Maisie Lockwood, the first clone of a human being in existence.

Meanwhile, Dodgson's master plan is for BioSyn to take control of the world's food supply. To achieve this, Dodgson hired InGen's disgraced geneticist, Dr. Henry Wu (BD Wong), to engineer locusts with their Creteacean DNA, which makes the insects about a meter long each. BioSyn then unleashed the swarms of Cretacean locusts into the American heartland so that they consumed all of the crops that aren't from BioSyn seed and grain. But Dodgson's plan quickly went awry when the locusts began rapidly breeding and the swarm crossed the Atlantic into Europe, which would cause the global food chain to collapse, create a worldwide famine, and eventually bring an end to the human race.

Once Malcolm became aware of what BioSyn was doing, he alerted Dr. Ellie Sattler, who is now an environmentalist. Recruiting Dr. Alan Grant to her cause, Ellie and Alan traveled to BioSyn's facility in Italy to stop Dodgson's locusts. Dodgson eventually realized that his plan was ruined so he ordered the locusts to be burned and eradicated, but the flaming swarm breached their containment and caused the dinosaur sanctuary to be set on fire. Meanwhile, Dodgson tried to flee in the Hyperloop but when the facility's power was shut down by Ellie and Claire Dearing, Lewis was attacked by a group of Dilophosaurus. Ironically, Dodgson died the same way Dennis Nedry did in Jurassic Park: poisoned and eaten by Dilophosaurus. Illogically, Dodgson somehow possessed the same Barbasol shaving cream can he gave Nedry in Jurassic Park, which he inexplicably recovered from Isla Nublar at some point before the island was destroyed by a volcanic eruption in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

Is BioSyn Gone For Good After Jurassic World: Dominion?

Jurassic World Dominion ends with Ellie Sattler and Alan Grant testifying before Congress about Lewis Dodgson and BioSyn's criminal activity and it's hard to see how the genetics company would survive this public exposure. Meanwhile, Dr. Wu was able to use his research from Maisie and her late mother, Charlotte Lockwood's (Elva Trill), genome to wipe out the plague of locusts he created. Congress declared BioSyn's Italy dinosaur sanctuary a protected area for the prehistoric animals, but the final fate of BioSyn wasn't revealed by Jurassic World Dominion. Most likely, BioSyn will go the way of InGen and Masrani Global as giant corporations that collapsed as a result of the disasters they caused by tampering with and abusing genetic technology.
