The laboratory is also interested in induced pluripotent stem cells which are generated by reprogramming somatic cells. He has a very strong background in extracellular matrix biology specifically collagens and pathologies that result from them. His major focus has been on utilizing osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), as a model system to evaluate applicability of stem cells to reverse skeletal defects, not only in OI but for other bone related diseases as well. Dr. Niyibizil laboratory is currently defining the role of pigment Epithelium derived factor (PEDF) in matrix mineralization; mutations in the gene that encodes this protein has been found to be associated with brittle bones in children with a recessive form of osteogenesis imperfecta. His team shown that PEDF enhances mesenchymal stem cell differentiation toward osteoblastic lineage and that it increases bone matrix mineralization. In addition,they shown that PEDF inhibits sclerostin expression by osteocytes. Dr. Niyibizi research mainly funded by National Institute of Health and Brittle bone foundation. He has served on various NIH study sections and he is currently serving on VA Surgery Merit Review grant applications.
