Handbook of H+-ATPases

Dr. Nakamura received his M.D. degree from the Jiangxi Medical University in 1984 and his Ph.D. from the Tokyo Medical and Dental University in 1995. Dr. Nakamura joined Murray State University in 2003 and his current position is Associate Professor of Biological Sciences. His research is focused on the physiological studies of acid-base balance and ion transports in the kidney.
