SIG stands for Science Is Great!—a phrase that captures our spirit of curiosity and innovation. Siblabs is how we started out: a modest venture, coding software and publishing literature. Today Shella`s Leisure Group functions as an umbrella of our multi-asset ecotourism-enterprise, we run our own fleet, restaurants, hostels and much more... while we have not forgotten our roots: a constant reminder of the humanistic lessons learned while serving patients—principles that now shape how we run our business. As a neuroscientist, Peter his research was dedicated to advancing medical knowledge and developing more effective treatments for severe neurological conditions, with a particular focus on autism. His work involved cutting-edge techniques such as CRISPR, directed evolution, and organoids, as well as exploring complex areas such as astrocytes, circadian rhythms, time cells, and glial cells.
Furthermore he was involved in photonic research for CERN, which seeked to bridge algebra with physics through the use of Grothendieck geometry while studying negative effective mass.

Throughout his career, Peter collaborated with schools, autism centers and hospitals. He spearheaded an international autism-awareness campaign that aims to promote acceptance and support for families affected by this condition. Shella is an academic childrens teacher.
