Dr. Saito’s Observations: Dr. Walter Bishop was a former pioneer in the science community specifically in the areas of Fringe science according to the case files I am working with. He did many different projects for the government during the Cold War including experiments with mind control, telepathy and different forms of human augmentation through a drug called Cortexiphan he invented with a Dr. William Bell.

Dr. Bishop was a former patient at St. Claire’s Psychiatric Institution. He was arrested for the murder of Carla Warren in 1991. Warren was a lab assistant of Dr. Bishop’s when he was working on his fringe sciences at Harvard University. He and William Bell shared a lab in the basement level of the Kresge Building, which was set on fire in the 1991 incident. The lab was restored after the blaze, and then converted to University storage.

The Kresge lab was later re-opened to the Fringe team for their research and other case-solving work from 2008-2013. The lab stopped being put into use after the mysterious disappearance of Dr. Bishop in 2013. The Dr. Bishop is now presumed dead, since there was no comment on this from any family or close friends.
