How to abandon my interest in a certain subject?

I’m interested in both stem cell research and pure mathematics, which are totally incompatible with each other. Yet I have no interest in any applied math which have connection with bio. In spite of my enthusiasm and (somehow) bright talent in math, I will probably study about stem cell in graduate school. So, it is quite regrettable for me to become a less competitive mathematician by spending most of my time for stem cell research.

The ideal solution for this problem is to duplicate my body, but it’s impossible with the current technology. So, could you give me some advice to solve my inner conflict between my enthusiasms for math and stem cell research? Thank you!
