Math seems like a good base to start from, but the field you are looking into may be rather interdisciplinary, touching on topics like biology, physics, computer science, economics, philosophy, statistics, etc… Math degree programs may not require a lot of courses (and tend not to have time consuming labs), so you may have plenty of space to take electives in those other subjects.

Math is also generally better than biology in terms of finding a job after graduation.
