Kennedy – There are many people I must thank for showing kindness, encouragement, and support for me during my tenure as a graduate student. First and foremost, I would like to thank my research advisor, Richard Caprioli, for providing both ample resources and guidance that allowed me to grow as a scientist. Our discussions about my research and science in general have helped me become a much more focused and discerning analytical chemist. I must also thank my Ph.D. committee members, Drs. Kevin Schey, John McLean, and Michael Stone, who have brought valuable insight into my research and provided direction along the way. My undergraduate advisor, Dr. Facundo Fernández, encouraged me to begin research in his lab and introduced me to the world of mass spectrometry.

Abstract The revolutionary development of soft ionization techniques like matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) has opened up the possibilities for mass spectrometry (MS) in protein detection, identification, and sequencing. The ability of MALDI MS to acquire images of intact tissue sections offer an additional dimension of analysis where location information can be attained. Visualization of biological systems help to unravel the complexities of cells, drug pathways, and disease pathology. However, the capabilities of MALDI MS imaging are often being questioned, as signals are typically biased towards the most abundant component within a complex sample.
