The Broad Institute's COVID-19 sequencing dashboard

Situation

Broad needed a public dashboard to tell the story of its COVID-19 sequencing work—fast. The goal: show how much sequencing had been done, where, and what variants were found.

  • Team: Directors of Data Sciences & Pathogen Genomic Surveillance

  • Timeline: 2 months (2021)

  • Note: I left before launch, but the dashboard went live and is actively used.

Action

  • Worked directly with leadership to define goals and content

  • Rapidly sketched and iterated on wireframes

  • Designed key views:

    • Cumulative & weekly sequencing volume

    • Geographic regions served

    • Variant breakdown over time

  • Included links to tools like Terra and CDC resources

Impact

The dashboard is now live and publicly accessible—helping tell Broad’s story and support public health with up-to-date COVID variant data.
