Rosetta@Home has added a new information page that explains how the project work may help specific disease research. It is a worthwhile read and is informative without being overly technical. Even I could understand it.

Gives a good idea of how the Rosetta@home project is currently impacting disease research through protein prediction, how the project team collaborates with other organizations doing disease research and how in the future the distributed computing project may more directly assist disease research.
