Experimenters have been able to extend the lifespan of C-Elegans five-fold by modifying just a few genes[0], though its unlikely that research will translate well to humans. Even interventions in much more closely related mouse models frequently fail to translate to us, but must biologists will agree with you that those organisms are the place to start.
