Health Science Center Hermann Hospital and the Lyndon Baines Johnson County Hospital; served on the
Internal Review Board; and obtained as principal investigator and maintained a Program Project
involving the “Optical Imaging of Cervical Neoplasia.” During her tenure there, she also initiated and
directed the Biomedical Engineering Center, collaboration between University of Texas in Austin (UTA),
University of Texas Health science Center in Houston, and MD Anderson. Dr. Follen was responsible for
the establishment of the undergraduate biomedical engineering department at the University of Texas
