News on ECLIPSE: interview with Prof Prodi
🎥 ECLipse – Interview with the Principal Investigator
Following the final meeting and industry conference, we are pleased to share one of the short interviews with Prof. Luca Prodi, Principal Investigator of the ECLipse project, who presents the project’s key achievements, impact, and future directions.
ECLipse has developed a portable diagnostic device, similar in size to a smartphone, capable of detecting viruses, bacteria, and parasites with a sensitivity comparable to molecular tests (yet with the simplicity and accessibility of rapid ones). This innovation could revolutionize disease prevention and early diagnosis, from infectious diseases to cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.
The project’s outcomes have recently attracted the attention of several national and regional media outlets, including ANSA, Corriere di Bologna, la Repubblica Bologna, TG7 News, and TRC Bologna, which highlighted the potential of ECLipse to support pandemic preparedness and global health.
⚠️ Unfortunately, the interviews are available only in Italian, but we invite everyone to take a closer look at ECLipse’s scientific journey and the collaborative effort behind it.

The final meeting of the ECLipse project has just taken place on 7th-8th October, followed by an industry-oriented conference where we had the opportunity to present the project’s key results to a group of potential early adopters.
This event fostered an open discussion on how the innovations developed within ECLipse could translate into real-world applications and future collaborations.
We were also honored by the participation of Prof. Tiziana Lazzarotto, Director of the Complex Operational Unit of Microbiology at the IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna, Policlinico di Sant’Orsola, who contributed valuable insights from the clinical perspective.
The ECLipse consortium brings together true front runners in science and technology, being among the first Pathfinder projects funded in Italy, paving the way for new ideas and interdisciplinary approaches in the European research landscape.
A sincere thank you to all partners for their dedication, vision, and teamwork throughout this exciting journey. 🌍
📢 Stay tuned! We will also share interviews with the Principal Investigator highlighting ECLipse’s main achievements and future directions.
