Bioinformatics track?

Recommended Posts

Hi, I am currently a freshman in college, and for now my track is to major in Biochemistry and minor in Computer Science. Specifically my interests have always revolved around proteins and genomics, and I'm also interested in programming. Lately upon doing a lot of reading and research, I have become very interested in the Bioinformatics field. All through high school I loved chemistry and always told myself I would major in Biochemistry, but now I'm wondering if I should do that. I don't really want to take a bunch of chemistry courses if it isn't necessary for what I want to get into. My interests stand at a perfectly even balance between biochemistry, molecular biology, and computer science. From what I've read on Bioinformatics you don't have to be an expert at all areas since there are many fields within that field, just specialized in one and familiar with the rest. However, I am unsure of what the best stategy is here. Suggestions? Comments?
