While I fully support your endeavors, if it’s really your particular death that you are attempting to delay, wouldn’t the best strategy be to focus on your body and your money? I’m planning on going into science myself, but I’m led to believe it is a comparatively low wage, largely sedentary, time-consuming job which is not particularly compatible with the pursuit of health and wealth.
I’m not pursuing health and wealth (although they are a nice bonus to have), I’m pursuing negligible aging—for a start. As of now, no amount of money can give you this (see also: Steve Jobs, pancreas).
Of course, if I had enough money, I could directly finance aging research. However, I think I have better chances going through academy.

Knowing the science improves the odds of choosing methods that work (or are at least harmless) earlier.
