Deciding Between Majors for Medical Research

[raging]

Hi,

I'm currently a freshman still deciding my major. What is the best major if one wants to pursue medical research including antibiotics, drug design, cancers, and fields of other diseases. Is Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering a good choice? How about pure Biology or Biochemistry?

Thanks.

My chemistry professor did cancer work as a biochemist. She stuck needles in a lot of rats to test the effects of some protein on some gene.. I know very little about biology and biochemistry, so I don't know any details. Chemical engineering really isn't going to net you any experience in the field; which is amusing, because my chemistry professor did her bachelors in chemical engineering before doing her Ph.D on the aforementioned needles and rats. If I were you, I'd do a degree in biology for undergrad, then a biochemistry Ph.D.
