Texas A&M gets $35M grant to boost diabetes, heart disease monitoring with implants

WASHINGTON — The National Science Foundation has selected Texas A&M University to lead one of its prestigious engineering research centers, part of a $35 million federal grant awarded to the school to develop implantable devices that can send health data to doctors.
