NeuroMetrix to close its Columbia facility
Massachusetts-based NeuroMetrix Inc. said yesterday that it will close its Columbia office by the end of the year and discontinue the work that is now done there. The office handled sales of DigiScopes, which were developed at the Johns Hopkins University's Wilmer Eye Institute to detect diseases such as diabetic retinopathy. When NeuroMetrix acquired the Columbia operations in December for $10 million, it said that about 20 employees and consultants would continue to work there. The company said yesterday that it is refocusing on "core business."
