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
