Kaye Doiron is a trailblazing thought leader and innovator in clinical trial research, redefining how research reaches and serves diverse communities.  As the founder of Research Works INC and Research Works San Juan, Kaye has built a new model for what clinical research can be: accessible, human-centered, and driven by compassion and excellence.

A fierce advocate for healthcare equity and site sustainability and success, Kaye has spent her career that spans 17 years challenging outdated systems and pioneering solutions that break down barriers to access. Through initiatives like Research Works on Wheels, one of the first mobile clinical research units in the country, she has brought cutting-edge trials directly into underserved communities — reshaping the traditional site-centric paradigm.

Under her leadership, Research Works INC has remained fiercely independent, consistently ahead of industry trends, and nationally recognized for innovation — all without the backing of outside funding. Her work not only transforms how clinical trials are conducted but also redefines how the industry thinks about partnerships, patient engagement, and the vital role of human connection in science.

A jazz musician-turned-entrepreneur, Kaye brings creativity, resilience, and an unstoppable spirit to every endeavor. Her perspective is not just visionary — it’s deeply grounded in lived experience, offering audiences a rare blend of inspiration, innovation, and actionable insight.

Today, Kaye is a sought-after voice for a more inclusive, sustainable, and patient-centered future in clinical research. She continues to mentor, advocate, and inspire, lighting a bold path forward for a more inclusive, sustainable, and innovative research ecosystem.  She is a featured main stage speaker at this year’s Innovation Network Gathering 2025.
