Chemistry or biochemistry would be good options.

And yes, you are likely going to need to go to graduate school.

Or, you could find a College with a Pharmacology or Pharmaceutical Sciences program, which will combine Chem and Bio courses with Pharmacology courses

You will more than likely need at least a Master’s Degree in Chem, Bio, BioChem, or Pharmacology.

Another route is to go through Pharmacy School. Getting your PharmD degree will open up many research and development opportunities for you…maybe even more so than Chem, Bio, or BioChem

Chemistry #1. A minor in biology might be of help.

Chemistry.

You will probably need to have a Masters to get into the field and a Doctorate to get very far.
