Stefania Jabłońska (1920-2017) was a Polish physician and specialist in dermatology. She conducted crucial research linking human papilloma viruses and skin cancer.
She worked with the Russian Academy of Sciences, and later with the University of Pennsylvania after obtaining a grant from the World Health Organization. She was awarded the Commander’s Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta, and the National Order of Merit, France’s highest order of merit, in 1998, in recognition of her discoveries.
