InGen: The Corporation That Created Dinosaurs

International Genetic Technologies, Inc. (InGen) is the fictional bioengineering company responsible for cloning dinosaurs and creating Jurassic Park. Founded by John Hammond, InGen's groundbreaking — and catastrophic — work is the foundation of the entire franchise.

Discover InGen's secrets in World of Jurassic Park. The lexicon covers InGen's history and technology.

The Science of De-Extinction

InGen's scientists, led by Dr. Henry Wu, developed a process to extract dinosaur DNA from mosquitoes preserved in amber. Gaps in the genetic code were filled with frog DNA — a fateful decision that allowed some dinosaurs to change sex and breed in the wild. This blend of real science and science fiction created one of cinema's most compelling premises.

InGen's Site B (Isla Sorna) served as the breeding facility where dinosaurs were raised before being transported to Isla Nublar. The existence of Site B was a closely guarded secret until the events of The Lost World.

InGen's Legacy and Corporate Successors

After Hammond's death, InGen was acquired by Masrani Global Corporation, which used InGen's technology to build Jurassic World. Dr. Wu continued his work, creating hybrid dinosaurs like the Indominus Rex and Indoraptor. InGen's military division, led by Vic Hoskins, attempted to weaponize raptors — a subplot that explores the franchise's themes of corporate greed and scientific ethics.
