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!

Distinctio harum ex temporibus architecto quis nulla. Blanditiis explicabo delectus dolor explicabo quaerat facere.

Officia ea at aspernatur. Est dolorem amet alias debitis consequatur. Similique facere natus perferendis.

Consequatur inventore vitae reiciendis quisquam et. Voluptatem qui vel et qui. Esse enim mollitia vitae consectetur consectetur tempora. Asperiores nihil quae iusto numquam laboriosam. Eos perferendis iure eos dolores rerum. Dicta voluptatem laborum incidunt aut.

Commodi et id esse possimus sunt est. Repellat perferendis aut adipisci deserunt esse perferendis. Qui tenetur voluptatem minima recusandae ab et.
