unless the main claim to notability, significant contribution to the field per , can be sourced. I'm hard-pressed to find anything relevant. He doesn't seem to have tenure or be a prinicpal investigator. He is a co-author of a very notable paper: ''A PHYSIOLOGICAL-ROLE FOR DNA SUPERCOILING IN THE OSMOTIC REGULATION OF GENE-EXPRESSION IN S-TYPHIMURIUM AND ESCHERICHIA-COLI'' : HIGGINS CF, DORMAN CJ, STIRLING DA, WADDELL L, BOOTH IR, MAY G, BREMER E : ''CELL'' 52 (4): 569-584 FEB 26 1988, with about 500 cites, but looking over the record the main claim to fame seems to go to http://www.hgc.gov.uk/Client/Content.asp?ContentId=707 CF Higgins, and cites for first-authored papers look much more modest. So unless better evidence is unearthed this falls under the "bishops, lieutenants and notaries" category of professionals with a sound service record but no distinguishing characteristic
