Curiex is a next-generation Site Management Organization (SMO) that conducts clinical trials through a network of top-performing, independently owned clinical research sites — united within a harmonized, enterprise-grade platform.
Founded in 2019 by Eric Hayashi, a pioneer who originated the SMO business concept in 1991, Curiex represents the evolution of the SMO model into a site-led, performance-driven, and scalable enterprise. Anchored by Rainier Clinical Research Center, one of the nation’s largest and most experienced cardiometabolic research centers, Curiex now includes 10 independent sites. Curiex offers a unique platform that combines the culture, drive and agility of independent sites with the discipline, transparency, and scalability of an institutional network.
1. Proven Leadership and Industry Pedigree
Curiex is led by a seasoned team of executives with decades of direct site operations, network integration, and clinical outsourcing experience.
2. Differentiated Ownership Model
Unlike traditional SMO “roll-ups,” Curiex is not a consolidation of acquired assets. Instead, Curiex’s structure preserves site ownership and independence, aligning incentives and maintaining the entrepreneurial spirit that drives recruitment performance, therapeutic expansion and participant engagement. Curiex was built by sites, for sites.
3. Integrated Enterprise Infrastructure
Curiex delivers operational consistency and financial transparency through fully harmonized systems across accounting, finance, HR, IT, quality, and marketing — without compromising local site agility.
4. Scalable Platform
With 10 high-performing sites and growing, Curiex offers immediate scale with strong organic growth potential. Standardized processes, common technology infrastructure, and central management allow for expansion and seamless integration of future sites.
5. Deep Investigative and Therapeutic Expertise
Curiex sites conduct trials across a wide range of therapeutic areas with medical directors providing oversight and network-wide quality alignment in areas such as cardiology, dermatology, endocrinology, OB/GYN, psychiatry, rheumatology, sleep medicine, and beyond.
