Gen-Sys Laboratories (Earth-1736)

Gen-Sys Laboratories was a biotech firm based on San Francisco. The firm was infamously known for the development of ALZ-112 under Dr. Alice Krippin, a fungal parasite that would provide a cure for Alzheimer's disease.

History
In 2018, Dr. Alice Krippin of Gen-Sys discovered a way to help into curing Alzheimer's disease through the use of the artificially-engineered ALZ-112, based upon the template of the existing Cordyceps fungi. The experiments proved to be fatal on laboratory chimps, and the parasite later spread through the United States and the whole world, leading to the Cordyceps Outbreak that killed most of the population and turned others into Walkers.
