This isn't just in Biomedical fields.

In Earth Sciences, Astronomy and presumably quite a few other fields there is a staggering amount of data coming in and the number of people who have the required domain knowledge, math knowledge and programming knowledge is not growing as fast as the data is. Teams can and do help, but well, there is lots of work out there.

The LSST is a telescope project that is a sky survey and is to generate 15tb of data a day. Staggering amount of data coming in.

The data processing pipelines need to be very efficient and questions clear to tackle these. Not to mention the processing algorithms for this data.
