The quickest way to immortality is to create an artificial intelligence that will conduct the necessary experiments to discover cures for aging or invent brain uploading. The second quickest (and the first step towards AI) is to create computer vision algorithms, specifically human level object recognition. These will dramatically increase the wealth in the world (seeing robots that can do all manual labor tasks) so that conducting biomedical experiments becomes dramatically cheaper. Therefore, anyone really serious about curing diseases should be devoting most of their time to objection recognition technology.
