As for everything else, Ink could of very well been into genetics. Being that he is insane I would go so far as to say he might not even be a doc/former doc. Maybe just someone that used to read A LOT and then dabble with chemicals and things. Why else would he have all those funky looking tattoos? They have to mean something.
I'm from TEXAS!

Maybe we are over thinking it. Does Ink have to be a geneticist or some sort of scientist? What if he just discovered some weird biological formation created by the Haze that he sticks on someone's face and it craps ooze into the victims mouth that alters their biological make-up. Think Aliens; he sticks a face hugger on you and it pumps you full of Gaia's steroids, turning you into a Behemoth, Inkling, Jumper, Runner... I dunno. It sounds far fetched, but maybe the simple answer is he just mixed zombie blood with shit he found in The Haze and poof: biological benefits.
