Dear Birgit, Thank you very much for your response. We are delighted that you’ll be joining us! We will also make sure to schedule your keynote on the first day of the conference. I’ll keep you updated with the exact time slot and further details as soon as the program is finalized. Looking forward to your contribution.

Where to stay in Berlin
by Kareem Elsayad July 7, 2025

July 7, 2025

Hi All, We should also propose list of suitable/suggested hotels (ideally maybe with some promotions) – and put on website. (It occurred to me because Kirill - who just accepted invite - asked where he should stay. Told him we’ll have list up soonish) Don’t know if Max Planck Society has any special deals/rates with hotels nearby? Else maybe can invoke Cellsense to help here also (since they know area etc. a little better)? All the best, Kareem

Hi All I put together a website for the meeting; of course if you have something already or a better alternative please go ahead. It didn't take much time and it is a rough draft. Jochen, Stephanie and Kareem will have received notifications from squarespace where you have been added as an editor. The page is not live as it requires a subscription.

Sponsorship Opportunity: 9th International BioBrillouin Conference, Berlin (Nov 25–27, 2025)
by Stephanie Möllmert July 4, 2025

July 4, 2025

Dear Ms Pettersson, Dear Ms Niedballa, I am writing regarding the possibility of Bruker sponsoring the 9th International BioBrillouin Conference <https://www.biobrillouin.org/news>, which will take place in Berlin, at the conference venue of the Max Planck Society (Harnack House <https://www.harnackhaus-berlin.mpg.de/de>) on 25–27 November 2025. This event serves as a venue where experts and leading scientists from around the world working on Brillouin Light Scattering Spectroscopy for biological and biomedical applications meet once a year to share their latest advances, findings, and innovations in the field. In addition to two full days of keynote, invited, and contributed talks, it will feature poster sessions and various social activities. Many of the researchers attending the conference focus on cell and tissue mechanics, mechanobiology, and quantitative biomechanical measurements—areas closely aligned with Bruker’s advanced BioAFM solutions for live-cell and soft tissue mechanics, as well as its innovative tools for high-resolution, correlative microscopy. We believe this conference provides an excellent opportunity for Bruker to engage with a highly relevant audience, demonstrate leadership in mechanobiology instrumentation, and connect with leading academic and clinical researchers worldwide. We would like to invite you to support this emerging area by partnering with us as a sponsor. The organizing committee has put together three sponsorship packages listed in the attached PDF. If any of these would be of interest, please let me know as soon as possible. I would be happy to answer any further questions about these packages or the conference in general. All the best, Stephanie Möllmert On behalf of the Scientific Organizing Committee On behalf of the Scientific Organizing Committee: Jochen Guck (Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light & Max-Planck-Zentrum für Physik und Medizin, Germany) Kareem Elsayad (Medical University of Vienna, Austria) Robert Prevedel (European Molecular Biology Laboratory - EMBL, Germany) Francesca Palombo (Exeter University, United Kingdom) Stephanie Möllmert (Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light, Germany) Michael Monaghan (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland) Thorsten Hamann (Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway) PS. The event was originally planned to take place in Boston, USA, yet due to the current political climate has been moved to Europe on relatively short notice. The expected number of academic attendees is between 50 and 100 and will include participants from all continents except Antarctica. -- Dr. Stephanie Möllmert Research Group Leader Max-Planck-Zentrum für Physik und Medizin Cell Physics Division Kussmaulallee 2 91054 Erlangen Germany Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light Cell Physics Division Staudtstr. 2 91058 Erlangen Germany Phone: +49 (0) 9131 8284530 Email:stephanie.moellmert@mpl.mpg.de Homepage:www.gucklab.com

Sponsorships 9th International BioBrillouin Conference | November 2025
by Kareem Elsayad July 3, 2025

July 3, 2025

Hi Andy, Giuliano, We are currently collecting sponsors for the BioBrillouin meeting in Berlin, and I just contacted Intelon Optics to see if interested. Given your closer relations/connections I wanted to see if you could follow up/put in a good word. FYI. I contacted Dimitri Chernyak with the email pasted below. We contacted (or are in process of contacting) I think all the usual potential sponsors, but if you have any ideas of folks that we might have missed that you think might be interested, let me know or poke directly (with the attached sponsorship flyer). Thanks and all the best, Kareem Dear Dimitri, Hope all well. I am writing because we are currently organising the 9th BioBrillouin Conference in Berlin, Germany, which will take place at the conference venue of the Max Planck Society (Harnack House) on the 25-27 November 2025, and are seeking sponsorship from companies and learned societies. As with the past meetings, this meeting will bring together all the leading researchers working on Brillouin Light Scattering Spectoscopy for Life Science and Medical Applications. Attached are the sponsorship packages – we were wondering if Intelon Optics would be interested in sponsoring this event? Am ofcourse happy to answer any further questions.. Looking forward to hearing from you!
