Yes indeed we do. Andra is working on a scheduler for the update bot now. (And thanks to the tips about wbeditentity function it should go faster now...)
We have a grant to expand the scope of the original gene wiki project (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Wiki) to a) use wikidata as its structural foundation and b) expand into other areas such as genes and diseases.
Looking forward to continuing to work with the community to make wikidata a key hub of open biological and medical information on the Web.
That's really great news! Would you be willing to write a blog post about what you did, your plans for the future and why this is awesome? Jens can work with you on getting that published on our blog. We ran a few lately and your project sounds like it should get a bit ore exposure ;-) http://blog.wikimedia.de/tag/wikidata/
