According to the fields you’re interested in, I would seriously look into Biophysics.
Biophysics (also biological physics) is an interdisciplinary science that applies the theories and methods of physics, to questions of biology.
The study of Biophysics culminates the following areas and much, much more:
* Biology and molecular biology - Almost all forms of biophysics efforts are included in some biology department somewhere. To include some: gene regulation, single protein dynamics, bioenergetics, patch clamping, biomechanics.
* Structural biology - angstrom-resolution structures of proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, carbohydrates, and complexes thereof.
* Biochemistry and chemistry - biomolecular structure, siRNA, nucleic acid structure, structure-activity relationships.
* Computer science - Neural networks, Biomolecular and drug databases.
* Computational chemistry - Molecular dynamics simulation, Molecular docking, Quantum chemistry
* Bioinformatics - sequence alignment, structural alignment, Protein structure prediction
* Mathematics - graph/network theory, population modeling, dynamical systems, phylogenetics.
* Medicine and neuroscience - tackling neural networks experimentally (brain slicing) as well as theoretically (computer models), membrane permitivity, gene therapy, understanding tumors.
* Pharmacology and physiology - channel biology, biomolecular interactions, cellular membranes, polyketides.
* Physics - Biomolecular free energy, stochastic processes, covering dynamics.
