Wanda Zabłocka

Wanda Zabłocka (December 20, 1900 in Tarnów – November 30, 1978 in Toruń) was a Polish botanist, phytopathologist and mycologist.

She was then employed as a senior assistant in the Department of Botany of the Faculty of Agriculture and supervised laboratory classes.

In 1945, she defended her habilitation thesis on her mycorrhizal research and the following year moved to the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń.
