College of Nursing Hosts Innovation Exchange with Health-Sciences Colleges
Friday, Nov 21, 2025
The Innovation Exchange, an internal research event hosted by Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing in partnership with the Florida Atlantic Colleges of Engineering & Computer Science, Medicine, Social Work & Criminal Justice, and Science, took place on November 13. The program aimed to foster and celebrate collaborative research, igniting the next wave of interdisciplinary health-sciences innovation across the five colleges.
The half-day event at the College of Nursing Atrium drew more than 50 researchers to explore interdisciplinary collaboration and innovative dialogue among faculty.
A new SEED Funding opportunity was announced and researchers representing each college shared insights from their experiences as past SEED Funding recipients.
The program concluded with a roundtable networking lunch and breakout groups focused on cancer, neurodegenerative disease, social and behavioral diseases, genomics, data science, Artificial Intelligence and TriNetX Database.
“No single discipline can solve the complex health challenges we face,” said Dr. Candy Wilson, associate dean of research and scholarship at the College of Nursing. “By bringing together nursing, medicine, engineering, social work, and the sciences, we create solutions none of us could achieve alone.”
Dr. Wilson noted that the SEED Funding opportunity announced at the event underscores the colleges’ shared commitment to fostering collaborations.
