Get a Law degree or a MBA to get into equity research in biotechnology/ pharmaceutical company?

Hi all! I am currently going to study a PhD in biomedical science. My ultimate goal is to get into equity research. However, I have no background in finance. But I also know the importance of a law degree in equity research. Therefore, should I get a MBA or a law degree?

Thanks all!
