Finance with Biochemistry?

I am very passionate about two subjects: biochemistry and financial analysis.

Although these fields are not exactly complementary, I am looking to go into the business side of the biotech / healthcare / pharmaceutical industries. In other words, I would like to use my scientific training rather than just list it on my resume.

I was wondering what kind of career advice you could have for me. I have considered healthcare investment banking, although I am not sure how much science I could actually apply in it. Maybe you can suggest some other Wall-Street niches that I could look into.

I am also wondering what I could do to enter an executive / management role in a pharmaceutical company?

Thanks in advance

BTW - I am a rising junior at UPenn majoring in biochemistry and economics
