The Institute of Cellular and Organismic Biology (ICOB; http://icob.sinica.edu.tw) is one of the research institute of Academia Sinica in Taiwan. ICOB investigates basic mechanisms by which cellular functions and cell-cell interactions coordinate the growth and development of an organism, and its adaptation to an ever-changing environment. Current research at ICOB comprises four focus areas: (1) Cellular dysfunction, (2) Eco-Evo-Devo, (3) Neuroscience, (4) Stem cell and regenerative biology. These areas are complementary rather than mutually exclusive, which encourages cross-disciplinary research. 

Among the Eco-Evo-Devo area the research group of Vincent Laudet, is located at the ICOB’s Marine Research Station at Yilan and host 5 research group. This laboratory uses coral reef fishes and in particular clownfish to better understand the role of hormones in life history transition, and specifically metamorphosis (that is larvae to juvenile transformation). The lab of Vincent Laudet is jointly supported by Academia Sinica and Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) in Japan (https://groups.oist.jp/meedu).
