Prof. Gang Shen Named Among World’s Top 2% Scientists for Fourth Consecutive Year

Published

on

SHANGHAI, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Prof. Gang Shen of Taikang ByBo Dental has been named among the World’s Top 2% Scientists for the fourth consecutive year, according to the ninth edition of the database jointly released by Stanford University and Elsevier.

Prof. Shen has been recognised on the Single-Year Scientific Impact list in 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026, and on the Career-Long Scientific Impact list in both 2025 and 2026. The recognition highlights both his sustained research outputs in recent years and his longer-term academic influence of his work in orthodontics.

The 2026 edition is based on Scopus data and evaluates scientific impact using a composite set of citation indicators, including total citations, h-index, co-authorship-adjusted hm-index and citation performance by authorship position. The database covers 20 scientific fields and 174 subfields and separately assesses career-long and single-year scientific impact based on a Scopus data snapshot dated August 1, 2026.

For more than three decades, Prof. Shen and his team have focused on mandibular repositioning, temporomandibular joint remodeling and the diagnosis and treatment of complex dentofacial deformities.

“Being included in the career-long list is meaningful because it reflects decades of focused work in orthodontics,” Prof. Shen said. “For our team, it is recognition of a long-term commitment to the research of mandibular repositioning and continued clinical and scientific innovation.”

Since 2005, Prof. Shen and his team have conducted research and clinical application on adult malocclusions characterized by deep overbite, deep overjet and a deep curve of Spee, as well as mandibular repositioning and complex dentofacial deformities.

Their research has been published in journals including the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, the Journal of Dental Research and the Journal of Aligner Orthodontics. Representative publications include “Severe Class II Division 1 malocclusion in an adolescent patient, treated with a novel sagittal-guidance Twin-block appliance,” “The Biology of TMJ Growth Modification: a Review” and “Pathological Mandibular Retrusion: Causality and Orthodontic Intervention.”

To date, Prof. Shen has published more than 100 academic papers in dental journals in China and internationally, including more than 50 SCI-indexed articles in international journals.

Advancing Research in Mandibular Repositioning

Prof. Shen’s research interests include complex malocclusions involving convex, concave and asymmetric facial profiles, as well as the relationship between mandibular position, the temporomandibular joint and orthodontic diagnosis and treatment.

In 2019, Prof. Shen entered into a strategic collaboration with Smartee Denti-Technology focused on research and clinical translation in mandibular repositioning. The collaboration has contributed to the development and clinical application of the Smartee GS technology system.

Research under the collaboration spans diagnostic classification, biological mechanisms, appliance development, treatment planning and outcome evaluation, with findings shared through scientific publications, clinical studies and professional education.

“The career-long recognition belongs to more than 30 years of work by our team in mandibular repositioning,” Prof. Shen said. “Being named to the single-year list for four consecutive years also reflects the continued research and innovation that have come from our collaboration with Smartee. I believe orthodontics, particularly mandibular repositioning, will continue to generate new research and attract broader attention within dentistry.”

Prof. Shen’s latest inclusion adds to a growing body of research examining mandibular position, temporomandibular joint adaptation and the management of complex malocclusions, while continuing to expand the scientific discussion around mandibular repositioning in contemporary orthodontic practice.

New locations complement the credit union’s nationwide digital capabilities while strengthening member relationships and community connection

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., Oct. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Teachers Federal Credit Union, one of the nation’s largest credit unions with $9.9 billion in assets and over 472,000 members, is continuing to expand its branch network across New York and Florida, with new locations planned for Estero and Wesley Chapel, Florida, and Farmingville, New York.

With a national open charter and members across all 50 states, Teachers combines the convenience of digital banking with access to personalized financial guidance. As the credit union’s membership has grown nationwide, its physical footprint has evolved alongside it, with continued investment in its home state of New York and an increasing presence in Florida. Teachers is also identifying additional markets across the country where a branch can bring the credit union closer to its members and support its long-term mission of helping members build a strong financial foundation today, for a better tomorrow.

“Our growth is guided by how we can better serve our members and support their financial well-being,” said Brad Calhoun, President and CEO of Teachers Federal Credit Union. “Our digital capabilities make it possible for us to serve members wherever they are, while our branches provide opportunities to build personal relationships and offer guidance through the financial moments that matter most. As we continue to expand in New York, strengthen our presence in Florida, and enter new markets, we remain focused on giving members more convenient ways to connect with Teachers and access the personalized service, expertise, and support they value – wherever and whenever they need us.”

To help guide its branch strategy, Teachers partnered with global commercial real estate services firm JLL to conduct a market screening.

“Establishing our partnership with JLL was an important step in developing our approach to branch expansion. We wanted to understand where our members are, what markets are evolving, and where a physical presence could create the greatest opportunity for Teachers,” added Inna Sprague, Chief Experience Officer, Teachers Federal Credit Union. “We combined internal data with factors such as market growth, demographics, competition, and site characteristics of potential locations to develop a branch expansion strategy that aligned with member needs, market opportunity, and our broader growth goals.”

Teachers has steadily expanded its branch network in recent years, entering the Florida market with its first location in Tampa’s Westshore district in 2023 and building on that presence with branches in Naples in 2025 and Lake Mary, serving the greater Orlando region, in 2026. In New York, Teachers opened a new branch in Holbrook in 2025 and continues to invest in its Long Island footprint. The planned locations in Estero, Wesley Chapel, and Farmingville represent the next phase of that strategy, expanding access in markets where Teachers sees opportunities to serve both existing and future members.

As Teachers grows, its investment in the communities it serves grows with it. The credit union’s approach extends beyond opening branches to supporting organizations and causes that make a meaningful difference in the places where its members live and work. Through its annual Golf Tournament benefiting Children’s Miracle Network, Teachers has raised more than $3 million since 2023 to support children and families, including through partnerships with Cohen Children’s Medical Center in New York and Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital and Nicklaus Children’s Hospital in Florida. Teachers also supports the American Cancer Society through Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, serving in 2026 as Presenting Sponsor on Long Island and Eastern Long Island and Silver Sponsor in Tampa Bay and Southwest Florida.
