The geneticist who leads InGen’s dinosaur research in Jurassic Park is Dr. Henry Wu.
Henry Wu is the chief geneticist connected with InGen’s dinosaur research and the cloning program behind Jurassic Park. In the 1993 film, B. D. Wong portrays him as one of the scientists explaining how dinosaur DNA was reconstructed from mosquitoes preserved in amber. Wu helps explain the use of frog DNA to fill genetic gaps, a detail that becomes important to the park’s biological unpredictability.
The film gives Wu a relatively small role, but later franchise stories expand his importance dramatically. He returns in Jurassic World, where he is a leading scientist at the new park and helps create genetically modified attractions such as Indominus rex. He also appears in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and Jurassic World Dominion. Wu is not Lewis Dodgson, the rival scientist associated with Biosyn, and he is not a paleontologist like Alan Grant.
