Kaye Doiron is the founder and CEO of Research Works INC and Co-founder and CEO of SAMARAS, an AI-powered orchestration platform redefining how clinical trials are executed. A 17-year clinical trial site operator, she built and scaled a multi-site research network across New Orleans and San Juan without outside capital—serving diverse, often underrepresented populations across complex therapeutic areas.
Recognized for turning operational pain points into scalable solutions, Kaye is a leading voice in site sustainability, patient advocacy, and clinical innovation. She is the founder of the Patient Negative One movement, challenging the industry to simulate and solve before the first patient is ever enrolled. She also is a provisional patent holder of Research Works On Wheels, the first clinical trial research site built in Mercedes van that turns any clinic into a clinical trial research site.
A sought-after speaker and industry disruptor, Kaye is known for building what the industry actually needs—proving that the future of clinical trials will be driven from the site outward.
