.NET actually already has a foothold in bioinformatics,
specially in user facing software and steering of reading
equipments and robots.
So D's needs a story over C# and F# (alongside WPF for data
visualization) use cases.

Though when it comes to open source bioinformatics projects, Perl
and Python have a large foothold
among most most bioinformaticians. Most utilities that require
speed are often written in C and C++ (BLAST, HMMER, SAMTOOLS etc).
I think D stands a good chance as a language of choice for
bioinformatics projects.
