The name OrbiMed combines the Latin Orbis (world, circle) and Medicus (doctor, physician) to reflect our distinctive investment capabilities: an integrated worldwide approach to seeking the best life sciences investment opportunities at all stages of development.

Our logo incorporates the Caduceus, a traditional symbol of medicine featuring two serpents entwined around a staff crowned with two wings. In Greek and Roman mythology, this talisman was associated with healing and immortality in literature and drawings.

Images of the Caduceus are common today through its ubiquitous usage as a symbol of medicine.
