Quantitative Proteomic Investigation of Disease Models of Type 2 Diabetes by Mark Gabriel Athanason A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Cell Biology, Microbiology, and Molecular Biology College of Arts and Sciences University of South Florida Major Professor: Brant R. Burkhardt, Ph.D. Stanley M. Stevens, Jr, Ph.D. Meera Nanjundan, Ph.D. Patrick Bradshaw, Ph.D. Date of Approval: November 4th, 2016 Keywords: PANDER, proteomics, phosphoproteomics, stable-isotope labeling Copyright © 2016, Mark Gabriel Athanason Dedication The work contained in this dissertation is dedicated to my love and companion, Tori. Her presence illuminates paths through the most challenging endeavors, which I myself could not navigate alone. Additionally, I also dedicate this work to my loving mother, Despina, and father, Gary, for their unrelenting and constant support. Acknowledgments I would like to thank my mentor, Dr. Brant Burkhardt for his guidance and support not only through the chaos of the scientific world, but also for providing guidance for every day challenges, too. I also thank my mentors and committee members: Dr. Meera Nanjundan, Dr. Patrick Bradshaw, and especially Dr. Stanley Stevens for his expert knowledge and mentorship that made this project possible. From Dr. Stevens’s lab I thank my colleagues and friends, Dr. Dale Chaput and Jenny Guergues. From my own lab I thank Dr. Whitney Ratliff, Dr. Melanie Kuehl, Katie MarElia, Tiffany Shemwell, Arielle Sharp, Ramsey Grace, and Amanda Fernandez for their friendship and comradery, I wish them all the best.
