InGen (or International Genetics Technologies) is a fictional genetic engineering company in the book and movie Jurassic Park
and its sequels. It is based in Palo Alto, California.

The company pioneered a technique to use DNA extracted from ancient mosquitoes trapped in solid amber to produce live dinosaurs.

InGen was founded by billionaire John Hammond around 1983 with mostly Japanese contributions. In 1985 Hammond started to design and construct "Jurassic Park," a zoo-like tourist attraction on the island of Isla Nublar off Costa Rica. "Jurassic Park" would be the first zoo in the history of the world to have living, breathing dinosaurs as the attractions. In addition, Hammond created a research facility on "Site B" (featured in The Lost World: Jurassic Park
and Jurassic Park III
).

The slogan of InGen says "We make your future".

Although Hammond was the leading man behind InGen, the real "brains" of the project was a man named Norman Atherton, who had passed away before Hammond started the company due to terminal cancer.

According to the The Lost World, InGen broke down after the incident in Isla Nublar of 1989, where the dinosaurs escaped, causing several deaths.

Both in the movie and in the novel, Biosyn was the responsible of the disaster of InGen, paying Dennis Nedry (Head Programmer of Jurassic Park) in order, so he could steal the dinosaur's embryos, shutting down all the security systems.
