There are two main paths. One is in managing the amount of data that can be generated today in the medical arena, things like DNA sequencing. For example, a whole genome sequence of a cancer patient would generate a terabyte of data. If you imagine doing many hundreds of thousands of individuals, you're now into the peta- and even exabyte scales of data. Managing and processing that information down to something that can be medically actionable requires supercomputing infrastructure and expertise.
