Medical degree?

I've always been interested in medical research for new treatments. Which degree would be most appropriate and can you tell me what it involves and if it would suit me?

Medical degree?
New treatments can best be studied via degrees in virology, genetics, oncology, and pathology. It depends on whether you want to work in drug development and so on... but having a good background in these courses gives you the tools you need for understanding diseases. You can start with an undergraduate major in biology, and as you're exposed to the different aspects of the field, you will learn where to take your degree within no time. A masters or PhD is usually required in research - to get the best jobs, loans, and make the most money, of course.
Reply:Medical research would probably suit a chemistry degree most if you want to look for drugs,


A genetics degree if you want to look at disorders such as cystic fibrosis


And a biology degree or micro biology if you want to look at pathogens, e.g. bacteria or nematodes.
