In 1998, Mehta & Isaly split up into two entities, with Mehta forming Mehta Partners and Isaly forming OrbiMed Advisors.
In 2007, OrbiMed expanded into Asia, opening offices in Shanghai and Mumbai. In 2010, the firm expanded into the Middle East, opening an office in Herzliya, Israel.
In December 2017, Isaly stepped down from his role as managing partner of OrbiMed due to allegations of sexual harassment raised by former female employees.
