Caroline Jegerschöld

Caroline Jegerschöld is a Researcher at the Division of Ergonomics, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, responsible for teaching 15+ courses including Cognitive Interaction Design, Ergonomics - Risk Assessment, and Leadership in Healthcare Environments. Her work bridges academic research with practical workplace safety applications through the RAMP (Risk Assessment and Management of work-Related Injuries using Prevention) framework.

Her research spans ergonomics and structural biology, focusing on workplace risk assessment methodologies and molecular mechanisms of protein aggregation. Key areas include BRICHOS domain chaperone functions in neurodegenerative diseases, 5-lipoxygenase interactions in inflammation, and membrane protein structures relevant to lipid metabolism and ion transport. This dual expertise connects occupational health with fundamental biochemical processes.

Analysis of her 15 most recent publications (2012-2024) reveals consistent structural biology themes using electron crystallography to study protein misfolding in Alzheimer's, cancer biomarkers, and inflammatory pathways. The work demonstrates methodological innovation with nanodiscs and computational modeling, showing strong translational potential for understanding disease mechanisms while maintaining active ergonomics teaching commitments.
