Stories from Emma Entrepreneurs: IntolerSense, Emma Enterprise Winners

6:00pm – Online, via Zoom

Register now for the next edition of Stories from Emma Entrepreneurs with IntolerSense, winners of this year's Emma Enterprise competition. Led by Lukas Pin (2022) and Christopher Reiners, the IntolerSense team will talk about their project, how they approached Emma Enterprise, and their plans for the future.

Lukas is a 3rd year PhD in Biostatistics working on adaptive clinical trial design. He was President of the MCR in 2023-24. Besides co-founding the COVID-response education project with Christopher, he worked in AI, Pharma and Consulting.

Christopher co-founded an education non-profit with Lukas in Germany during COVID. He scaled this COVID-response platform to provide free online tutoring to 15,000 pupils from low socioeconomic backgrounds in Germany. He successfully raised €3.5m, built a team of 10 full-time employees, and managed the development of an app. Christopher will begin his MBA in Cambridge this September.

About the project

"IntolerSense is an AI-powered healthtech startup helping people manage food intolerances – an underdiagnosed condition affecting up to 20% of the global population. Traditional methods are slow, frustrating, and often inconclusive.

"Our app allows users to log symptoms and analyse meals simply by taking a photo. By combining food recognition with structured symptom tracking, we help users discover their intolerances in a more accessible and data-driven way. IntolerSense tracks a wide range of symptoms offering a more complete picture of user health."

From Tudor Essex to the South Pacific: 400 Years of Family History through Emmanuel and the Changing Church

6:00pm – Online, via Zoom

John Harding, historian, matriculated at Emmanuel in 1963. His nine-times great-grandfather, John Malden, matriculated at Emmanuel in 1623. In a special online talk for the Emmanuel Society that touches on family history, Pacific expeditions and religious change, John Harding reveals the extraordinary story of the intervening generations.

Drawing in part from his well-researched family tree, John will apply his skills as a historian to take you on an exploration of his family from its origins in Tudor Essex. He’ll show how successful marriages raised his ancestors’ social status from artisans to members of the Victorian clergy. He’ll tell the story of an island in the Pacific named after a family member. As his family moved from puritanism to the nineteenth-century Broad Church, so did Cambridge, so he will set his story within the religious changes in the University and, more specifically, in Emmanuel.

Join us for what promises to be a fascinating online talk, hosted by Rosanna Moseley Gore (1979), author of Songs from the Suitcase: Inhabiting an Inheritance and member of the Emmanuel Society Committee.
