Dr. Fiske received her Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Stanford University, her Master of Arts degree in social psychology from San Francisco State University and her Doctor of Philosophy degree in clinical psychology with a focus on aging from the University of Southern California. She completed an internship at the Veterans Affairs Palo Alto Health Care System. She completed postdoctoral work and a visiting faculty appointment at the University of Southern California.

Dr. Fiske’s primary research interests involve the etiology of depression and suicidal behavior in late life and the implications for prevention. An NIMH-funded project examines genetic and environmental influences on suicide in the Swedish Twin Registry. Other projects underway within the lab are investigating the role of cognitive and physical health limitations in relation to risk of suicidal behavior.
